The Association of Resident Doctors, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi-Araba, Lagos have embarked on a three days warning strike

The Association of Resident Doctors, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi-Araba, Lagos have embarked on a three days warning strike over the management’s skipping policy for doctors.

The three days warning-strike which began on June 15, Monday, was declared by the ARD Chairman, Dr. Moronkola Ramon.

During a protest within the hospital premises, Ramon warned the hospital management that, all resident doctors may take full action if their demands are not met.

He stated that the hospital management had stopped skipping, that is a policy whereby doctors were given double promotion. Thereby, giving a seven-day ultimatum to the management to implement this policy.

According to Punch, Ramon said, “We also served the 21-day notice needed for us to proceed on an indefinite action if they failed to implement the policy. If they do not after this strike, we will consider an indefinite strike. However, we will be providing emergency services to avert unnecessary loss of lives”.

However, the ARD Chairman, wondered why LUTH is yet to comply with the agreement that the Federal Government had with its national body of the Nigerian Medical Association.

HND/B.Sc Dichotomy Buhari urged to address 'dangerous' certificate discrimination

A social critic has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to help stop alleged discrimination between Higher National; Diploma (HND) and Bachelor’s Degree holders in Nigeria's paramilitary formations.


A social critic has called on PresidentMuhammadu Buharito help stop alleged discrimination between Higher National; Diploma (HND) and Bachelor’s Degree holders in Nigeria's paramilitary formations.

In an essay published by PM News, Buhari was urged to take quick action in order to stop the 'dangerous discrimination.'

"President Muhammadu Buhari should please urgently end this certificate discrimination between HND and BSc. holders in Federal Ministry of Interior (Prisons, Immigration, Civil Defence) and others in order to increase productivity in fight against insecurity and insurgents," the report stated.
"This discrimination is dangerous, unethical, and unconstitutional."
The unnamed critic warned that the discrimination could lead to armed conflict is nothing is done urgently.

"There is a looming bloody clash between these two cadres at fields of operation due to live arms/ammunition they bear and that is why every well-meaning Nigerian should help towards scrapping out this discrimination because you or your family could be victim directly or indirectly."
Some of the alleged discrimination included:

*HND (Inspectorate Cadre), while B.Sc. (Superintendent Cadre).

*Entry Level for HND is G/L 7, while a fellow Graduate with B.Sc. is G/L 8.

*Terminal Point for HND is G/L 13, while B.Sc. is to the highest G/L.

*HND or inspectorate cadre ranks are confusing, while superintendent ranks are normal ranks/recognized ranks in military/paramilitary agencies.
*.
B.Sc Holder do not pay complement to his superior officer with HND certificate.

*HND graduates are denied one Grade Level during conversation.

*Above all, HND holder in this Ministry of Interior are regarded and treated as artisans with WASC or Trade Test qualifications.

The writer noted also that personnel of paramilitary formations leave their duties and focus on "getting more certificates by hook or crook in order to be converted to the superintendent cadre."
He also noted that the "other well recognised security agencies like; Nigeria Military, DSS, Nigerian Police, etc do not discriminate in ranking between HND and BSc. holders."

The HND/BSc debate has been on on for a long time, signalling a battle of supremacy between polytechnic and university certificate holders.
In an interview with an Abuja based newspaper, Dr. Kabiru Matazu, Rector of Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic Kazaure, called for the removal of the dichotomy.
Also, the National President of National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) Com. Ogbonnaya Sunday, the problems of polytechnic students and graduate can be traced to the dichotomy.
Even more recently, Professor Femi Mimiko, Vice Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, described the dichotomy as unnecessary

How Common Entrance Cut-Off Marks are Determined

Criteria used by NECO to determine common entrance cut-off marks —- Cut-off marks for the National Common Entrance Examination(NCEE) into unity colleges are determined through ranking – if you want to admit 6000 students in a state for instance, then you rank from the score of the first person to where the score of the 6000th person stops and that becomes the cut-off mark.



Prof. Abdulrashid Garba, the Registrar, National Examination Council (NECO), explained on Saturday why cut-off marks for the National Common Entrance Examination(NCEE) into unity colleges varies from state to state.

Garba said that it was not actually the score alone that determines whether a child qualifies or not.

“In every state, ranking is done; if you want to admit 6000 students in a state for instance, then you rank from the score of the first person to where the score of the 6000th person stops and that becomes the cut-off mark.

“Performances vary from state to state; you hear parents say I am from so and so state and my child score high but was not admitted but another child from another state was admitted.

“It is so because the cut -off marks for such disadvantaged states are usually lower; there is a clear cut criteria and it is only for the parents to know the criteria.

“These school are unity colleges which means you must take along all parts of the country,’’ he said.

“The results are expected to be released by NECO to the Federal Ministry of Education on June 17,’’ he said.

Experts from the ministry and principals of the colleges would undertake a selection and placement exercise between June 21 and June 25.

He said that admitted candidates were to check the status of their admissions both at the various unity colleges and online at www.fmeinterviewtest.com from June 29.

NUT TACKLES KOGI GOVT OVER TEACHERS’ SALARIES, ENTITLEMENTS

Kogi State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers ( NUT) at the weekend took on the state government over, the non-payment of teachers salaries and entitlements.

The state NUT chairman, Suleiman Abdullahi, after a meeting between the Union and the Board members of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB-) led by its chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ahmed, said if the state government had followed the law which mandated it to contribute to the funding of basic education, there would have been no problem.
He lamented that the state government left the burden for only the local government to bear.

“The law that set up Kogi State SUBEB was signed by the former governor, Ibrahim Idris, in 2005, and it stipulates that the financing of SUBEB should be carried out by the state and local governments but this is not the case. Had it been the state government has been paying its contributions, many of these problems would have been solved,” he said.
He said during the meeting, the SUBEB chairman assured them that the problem of teachers salaries would soon be over as a committee headed by Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Olugbemiro Jegede to look into the matter had been set up.

“SUBEB has agreed that the government is owing teachers November and December salaries  and other allowances. We told them that the N25 billion we talked about is balance owned teachers since the commencement of payment of minimum wage in 2011,” he said.

On the Leave grant for basic education teachers, the NUT chairman said the SUBEB blamed the education secretary of various local governments who are yet to compute the figures for onward submission to the government.

The chairman pleaded with members of the union to remain calm and wait for further directives, adding that the union will meet to decide on the next line of action.
Meanwhile,  primary school teachers in the state have called on Independent Corrupt Practises and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to stop NUT from deducting union dues from their salaries.

This was contained in a letter by 53 staff of Okene Local Government Education Authority and signed by Abdullahi Yekeeni.

Unemployed Graduate To Get N5000 Monthly-FG

  
Cheering news reaching 9ja School Gist has it that the federal government at the weekend declared that there are ongoing plans to implement one of its striking campaign promises that it will pay N5000 each to unemployed graduated and  poorest Nigerians across the country.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who gave the hint noted that government is “currently evaluating the best ways to collapse existing cash transfer and social welfare schemes to ensure consistency and alignment.

“Once this is completed, we will implement the first phase of this program, using recognized identification platforms and transparent payment solutions”, he added.

Osinbajo who disclosed this at the 10th Year Anniversary Lecture of Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State titled, ‘The Nigerian Economy and the Future’, also said the federal government has identified the weak transmission grid, which prevents the wheeling of more than 5,000MW as a gridlock to be removed.

He assured that the Buhari administration would work with the distribution companies to ensure the necessary investment to get electricity to consumers is in place.

On the pervasive poverty ravaging the country, Osinbajo said the payment of N5000 each to poor Nigerians was necessary because “we cannot talk about the economy of the future without addressing how we move people out of poverty.

“One of the most striking promises we made during the campaign was the payment of Five Thousand Naira to the poorest Nigerians across the country”, he noted, even as he regretted that today, “about 112 million (66% of Nigerians) are deemed extremely poor, measured by World Bank parameter of those living on less than US$1.25 per day.”

"The motherfucker getting funny so I stick the blade straight in his tummy," 14 year old student, Yusaf Khanny, wrote in a Facebook update that strangely got 38 likes at the time of the screen grab.
    

A 14 year old student, Yusaf Khanny, who stabbed his 50-year-old Nigerian teacher, in the classroom also boasted about the crime on Facebook.

Uzomah, who had only taught at the school for about a month had attempted to confiscate a mobile phone Khanyy who was reportedly using it during class before the incident.

Following a shouting match, the student allegedly stuck a knife into the teacher's stomach and fled the school premises.

Instead of feeling remorseful, Khanyy went on his Facebook page to boast about the crime.

"The motherfucker getting funny so I stick the blade straight in his tummy," he wrote in the update that strangely got 38 likes at the time of the screen grab.

A student who told BBC he witnessed the incident said Uzomah was polite and "never shouted" when he demanded the phone from the student.

"He just got something out of his pocket and stabbed him and ran off," the student said.

Police conducted a manhunt for the student before he was later arrested, but not before he made his boast post on the popular social media network.

During the manhunt, the school's Executive Principal, Nick Weller, told BBC said the "shocking" events were witnessed by a number of students.

Uzomah is being treated in hospital.

Destiny Kelly Chibuike, a student at the Department of Business Administration, was caught in possession of a locally made pistol, which he uses to rob members of the polytechnic community.

Reports quoting the school security say Chibuike has been handed over to officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Asaba.

Following the arrest, the polytechnic issued a statement warning students to stay away from vice and crime as they vowed to in their matriculation oath.

Meanwhile, a hunt has been launched for other members of the suspect's gang.

Last month, a  19-year-old Mechanical Engineering student of the polytechnic, Emmmmanuel Otu, was arrested by officer of the Lagos Command of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), for internet fraud.

Otu had created a Facebook profile of the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for fraudulent activities.

Also in May, a 25-year-old graduate of the polytechnic was among a gang of armed robbers arrested for stealing a Highlander Jeep and other valuables.
